Like the looks of what you have presented here. We do want an Oak Tree in the logo and we will ultimately want a version with golf club at the bottom and one without. The flying duck and creek look are good. Golf flag is not a necessity, but if it is there (small) plus a tree, that works.
With regard to golf club at the bottom, I was not looking for golf clubs. What I was saying is that we will end up with two versions of the logo, one with the words golf club at the bottom and one without (to use on shirts, caps, etc). You and one other designer are at the top of our list. We need to see some colors in your design. Ideally blue for the water dark green on the Duck Creek lettering and some contrasting colors in the duck, golf green and tree. We would also like to see the oak tree look a little closer to the one you will find at this URL https://www.facebook.com/pages/Oakridge-Country-Club/139660059386033 That was the logo of the former country club which operated on the property and it would be nice to come close to that same tree look. Thanks.
Also probably like your #35 a little better than #14, but probably just because it is darker. Once we see one with color that will be nice. But I think the orientation of all the components of the logo is good in those versions.
I like the tree color in 36 along with the single darker blue for both creeks in 35. I would say that using the same brown color for the duck and tree trunk as you have, then same dark green for tree and DUCK CREEK text as you have along with the blue from creeks in GOLF CLUB. Then the tree dark green for the flagpole and red for the flag are good along with the lighter green color for the golf green. I think that gives us 5 colors total which is probably OK. I have to be sensitive as to how it would look as the logo on a shirt or cap. So probably 35 with the tree in the darker green would get there.
Thanks for your work on this. You were selected as the winner. The last few you sent were probably a little closer on what we want color wise. Once you upload files, I would like to have 3 different versions. One with the color scheme that was selected #40, one with using the green color on the tree on #39 for the tree, golf green and Duck Creek lettering and one with the words golf club gone at the bottom. Good work.
